  • Hi my name is Roxy and I am an Asian market addict. No, it is a seriously true statement. There isn't anything that I love more in this world (well food wise that is) than walking into an asian supermarket, funky smell and all and perusing every isle full of items that I am culturally not familiar with. I have been to all the Asian markets in Phoenix, Ranch Market, Lee Lee' in Mesa and Glendale... even the small mom and pop shops. But after visiting Mekong Supermarket today it's quite clear to who the stand out winner is, and that would be Mekong a mile above anyone else. First, it's more of a small mall than a supermarket. Craving dim sum, there is a place for you there... Pho - Done... Fast take out chinese food, yep they got that too. Asian bakery with take out pork buns done... heck there is really something here for everyone. I could have easily made Mekong a day long excursion ( One day soon it will be!). I have a passion for Asian cuisine. I think the flavor profiles are so complex, spicy, sweet, salty total umami. I cook at home and I love to experiment with ingredients that are out of my comfort zone and I find that Asian markets provide that sense of adventure. First upon walking in I realized how large their fresh meat and sea food areas are.... They offer everything you could ever want.. Looking for duck heads and feet? They have that here... Pork belly, pork hocks, beef short ribs, flank short ribs, chicken feet, pork blood you get the idea... Now don't even get me started on the fresh fish selection. There is every kind of crustacean you would want - head on and headless, the fresh fish selection is as diverse as the crowd that you will see shopping at Mekong. I mean they had live spot prawns - I lived in cali for nearly 10 years and never saw those anywhere I shopped. The rest of the store was large and diverse, and was sensory overload for me in a good way. I couldn't help but to do a bit of a happy dance throughout the store. I came home with an abundance of goodies, and made a fabulous meal celebrating my 400th yelp review.... So thank you mekong for officially becoming my favorite and most beloved asian market in the valley, and thank you Larry and Fred the live dungeness crabs who I bought today at Mekong and made into a delicious meal tonight! Its a must visit in the valley!
